Mean name comments

So we haven't really told anyone we've decided on a name, but through it out there in a list of "options". I do this with only close friends and family and aren't really interesting in how much they hate the name. That being said, my mother things the name with like is a dog's name, and my best friend thinks it is the name of a stripper. Now I am sad and trying real hard not to think about it too much. The name we like is Sadie.

When I was pregnant with my son Everett, my dad told me it sounded like a homosexual (what??!).

What mean name comments are you getting? Do you care? Do YOU think Sadie is a stripper name?

I can't imagine a stripper named Sadie. Aren't they all Crystal and Lexus, etc? Very mean of your friend to say that - perhaps she is jealous? This is why we aren't shaing our daughter's name with anyone....people can be so thoughtlessly rude.

That being said, I am not wild about Sadie, but it does not sound at all like a stripper.

I think Sadie Hawkins (dance) i think of it as kinda a feminist name but thats not a bad thing to me.
I do kinda see if someone had a dognamed something they might always associate the name with that. My aunt loved Hawaiian names for pets so Alika,meile, kimo, keone, and keoke are all out for me. And Tabitha (my cats name). Im lucky i didnt marry a Hawaiian guy. Lol.
I dont think stripper though, and ive heard my name (heather) is sorta a slutty name i guess. But im much more nerdy than anything.
Good luck. Ignore the mean comments. Name your baby what you want. :)

Sadie is a beautiful name, so is Everett. My name is Candace and I've never wanted to be called Candy because that is a stripper name. Lol Anyway when I first told my gramps my first born daughters name was Quinn 18 years ago..he yelled into the phone in his old school New Hampshire way ”Whaaaaaaaat?” Then asked me to spell it. Then asked what her middle name was (Cydney) and asked if he could just call her that. Remember there's a bit of a generational gap between you and your Dad. Lol Sadie is a great name! Sounds like the name of a very sweet girl to me.

I like the name Sadie. I do think of the Beatle's "Sexy Sadie", but I like the Beatles so that wouldn't deter me.

We named our daughter Allegra 11 years ago, and it just so happened that a new medicine came out named Allegra as well. People gave us so much crap about it that this time we tell people fake names, like Beast-Jesus.
